I feel as though the "Game of School" should perhaps be changed to the "Game of Homework". I knew of any people in my high school who enjoyed learning for learning's sake and I myself have enjoyed many math classes in my education just for the fun of learning rather than trying to play the "Game of School" or just putting in enough effort to get a good grade. The way some of my teachers taught kept me interested in not only the material they were teaching but what was going to be taught next. I remember very much enjoying a World History course I took last year (especially when the topics were Japan and China). I never took that class nor my pre-calculus or calculus courses as just another 45 minutes to "get by". I thoroughly enjoyed learning the new material and did well because I was interested in the topics at hand. However, my interest tended to fade when homework was assigned which is why I would agree with the author's theory if it be applied to homework.
